Action

Action is The antidote to despair! Joan Baez

I took a little creative action this morning and sliced up yesterday's watercolor strips the other way...and now I have a watercolor mosaic! Each little square is just 3/8 of an inch. I think it's kind of magical...and it looks prettier in person.

I might turn this into a birthday card....I just have to come up with the best way to use it.

Every day there seems to be worse news than the day before as our country is in chaos and our democracy is under attack. But I still have to believe that in the end things will be OK. In the meantime we have to remember that action is the antidote to despair.

And as the sign says...we have to LOVE MORE....and find a little joy everyday. 

Paul and I attended the Hands Off Protest in Portland today.

It was an amazing and energizing event and far more people than I expected. It was reassuring to see so many like minded people taking action. 

I got to chatting with a woman next to me...and she knew some people who were up in one of the tall buildings looking down on Monument Square watching the event. They sent her a video from their vantage point...and she sent it to me. 

Here's a screenshot from the video. That's Paul and me in the bottom middle with the yellow arrow. We were really packed in there...and everyone was so kind and friendly. A peaceful protest at its best!

It was nice to have Senator Angus King show up and say a few words.

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong. Cory Booker
